Award winning Chef Julian Serrano brings his culinary talent to Bellagio as Executive Chef of Picasso. Voted by the James Beard Foundation as Best Chef of California 1998, Chef Serrano has earned the reputation as one of the finest culinary talents in the nation and for the last 12 years has been the driving force behind the four-star Masa's in San Francisco.

Although Spanish, Julian Serrano has an affinity for French cuisine. Chef Serrano completed most of his training in the gourmet rooms of France and once a year finds himself there in search of new inspirations, much like the master from which his newest restaurant takes its name, Pablo Picasso. This Mediterranean style restaurant has a breathtaking view of Bellagio's lake and a collection of the master's artwork and ceramics.
